Hi all!
I wrote a lot about APEX the last couple of month. Now I want to write about the tools/applications I use to get these apps running and having always the full grip over it.
What main points should an application including to be usable in my eyes?
Monitoring
And of course I just write about them because I like them (and paid for them) and not because they paid for me. :D

What main points should an application including to be usable in my eyes?
- It should work for what I bought it "no more, no less"
- It should be fast (During start up and use)
- It should be always accessible better portable (like on an usb stick)
- It should be intuitive and easy to use
- It shouldn't cost to much (I mean thousands of €uros) or better be freeware or open source
Monitoring
- LAB128 (Commercial) - One of the jewels: it fits to all main points I wrote before
- OraSentry (Charityware) - Small tool which shows you if your alertlog/database is in trouble
- PL/SQL Developer (Commercial) - In my eyes the best development tool for pl/sql programming
- TORA (GPL) - This one (a tool with a long history) needs to be named too.
- DBSchema (Commercial) - A really good mix between price and performance
- Schemester (Freeware) - I liked this one a lot unfortunately its not longer under development
- FlowHeater (Commercial) - A really good data mapping tool for an unbeatable price. It is still under development and unfortunately (until now) only in German available
- Notepad++ (GPL) - A must have for fast and easy programming
- Firefox - Of course a must have for all APEX developers
- Colorzilla
- Firebug
- Greasemonkey
- IE Tab
- Resizeable Textarea
- Web Developer
And of course I just write about them because I like them (and paid for them) and not because they paid for me. :D
